Your guide to Sandwich Sudoku

A focus for your next round

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.

Understand the aim

Solve the Sudoku while each outside clue gives the sum strictly between 1 and 9 in that row or column. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

The playing sequence

  1. Select an editable cell.
  2. Enter a value using the keypad or keyboard; Notes stores candidates.
  3. Read the region, cage, arrow or outside clues alongside the normal constraints.
  4. Check entries verifies the completed board; Undo reverses your last input.
  5. New puzzle selects another included puzzle.

Your inputs

Click or tap cells and the digit pad. Use Notes, Undo and Reveal selected. Large boards scroll inside the game. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.

Follow the example

If the values strictly between 1 and 9 are 2, 4 and 7, the sandwich clue is 13. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.

One detail worth checking

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
